Who we are

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics - from science to business to global issues - in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.

TEDxTufts provides a platform for members of the Tufts community to spark conversation and create meaningful connections by spreading bold ideas, inspirational stories, and transformative experiences.
